Stop Financing Mountaintop Removal Coal Mining

Scott Edwards, Senior Staff Attorney for WATERKEEPER Alliance and Hurricane Creekkeeper, John L. Wathen speak to reporters after Chase, J. P. Morgan protest demonstration.

More than a hundred supporters showed up outside JPMorgan Chase to tell the bank’s CEO Jamie Dimon that he is destroying our country and people’s lives by funding mountaintop removal coal mining. The group is asking the financial giant to invest instead in safe, renewable energy.

Hurricane Creekkeeper John Wathen traveled more than a thousand miles to speak to the crowd about how the coal industry is reeking havoc on his community in Alabama and through out Appalachia, according to the WaterKeeper Alliance blog.
